<p>Most of my friends are in desperate need of a boyfriend, but it's funny, because when I think of a relationship or having a boyfriend, I just think of how time consuming it'll be and how it'll waste precious time and energy that I could be using to study for my next math test, or taking a nap after school. Is that odd? Do any of you feel the same way?</p>
<p>In my opinion, a high school relationship is a complete waste of time.</p>
<p>Nobody got time for that.
High School relationships are a joke and besides with all my school work, community services, and clubs a boy can’t squeeze himself in my schedule. If your friends are desperate, let them be.</p>
<p>I dun fixed it:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>@MutaRiSC - A girl in my science class asked me how many boyfriends I have had - and I simply responded; “Boyfriends? Ain’t nobody got time for that.” Too perfect.</p>
<p>But yeah, I feel kind of sorry for those who think that their partner of two weeks is going to be their future husband/wife… I rarely see relationships last longer than a month. However, one girl I know has been with her boyfriend for three and a half years… kudos to her. Statistical outliers ftw?</p>
<p>I’ve never in my life had the opportunity to be in a relationship, so it’s kind of an irrelevant question.</p>
<p>@MutaRiSC:
I was doing it in my own way.
I wasn’t saying it in that rachette type of way :p</p>
<p>lolol ^^ I have to say that finding importance in a relationship is something that they, your friends, deem important and need to be successful in HS. You don’t. Personally I wouldn’t mind being in a relationship but I also don’t want to involve myself with anyone which really doesn’t make sense. Besides, most relationships fail in HS and whatever you see as important in HS is up to the individual. I have had multiple friends comment on either the lack of potential for a relationship and/or they don’t have time to put in what it the equal of another class or job.</p>
<p>I really do, but I don’t think I’m capable of it.</p>
<p>This is what happens 90% of the time.</p>
<p>I go throu a 1-3 month period of heavy infatuation. I get really into a single girl, and focus all of my efforts on them, and making them like me. Eventually I get to a point where I’m confident that she would go out with me if I ask. Once I know that, I completely loose interest.</p>
<p>Other (more rare) situations include: I find something wrong with the girl that I can’t deal with (this ones usually only found in combination with the first one), I absolutely can’t get the girl to be interested in me, or the girl is really in love with another guy and I realize that me and her won’t work.</p>
<p>But yeah usually it’s the first situation. I’ve had friends say that I have a habit of leading girls on. I really don’t though. I always start with full intention of dating the girl. Also I seem more attracted to girls with boyfriends. So pretty much I want what is out of reach. I just hope I find someone eventually who I don’t lose interest in :(</p>
<p>Girl shoo…I’m swamped enough as it is.
If I had more time then maybe.</p>
<p>I mean, I wouldn’t mind being in a relationship, but (aside from the sexual component) I tend to conceptualize romantic relationships as amped-up versions of friendships and I don’t think I would ever devote a ton of time to one.</p>
<p>Nah, not right now. I really have to focus on school- maybe in college, when I have time and less stress.</p>
<p>@goodnoodle so you’re into the chase of the girl? The knowledge that you have the girl but don’t actually want her? Yeah you are kind of leading her on, but on the other hand, you weren’t really interested in the girl, but the idea of the relationship. Maybe? And you really don’t want to commit to a relationship if you are only attracted to girls that have bf’s, because that means you don’t actually have a chance and get hurt or anything…although I could be completely off base here.</p>
<p>“in college, when I have time and less stress.”</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard from people I know, college work is a lot more stressful and time consuming</p>
<p>@halcyonheather - Knowing the type of person I am, I’d probably have a relationship that is really just an intense friendship without the sexual component altogether, because, you know, ick. Cooties. LOL</p>
<p>^Agree!</p>
<p>And im a male</p>
<p>I had an epiphany when y’all said cooties.
I was like: “Cooties are STDs”!</p>
<p>I was actually gonna say “Cooties” and then put STDs in parentheses, but I thought that it was slightly inappropriate, lol.</p>
<p>Is it strange that I want to be in a relationship because then I’d know that someone will care for my future AND actually motivate/help me with my studies?</p>
<p>By “sexual component” I didn’t just mean actual physical contact leading to STDs 
but also the physical attraction (or the you’re-ugly-I’m-ugly-let’s-settle-for-each-other feeling) that leads people into romantic relationships in the first place.</p>
